Fun Fair Rides(Fri , Sat & Sun)All the fun of the fair with waltzers, dodgems and all manner of wild rides that will spin, twist, flip and thrill you or just grab some candyfloss and hit the arcades.

Comedy Stage Hypnotist(Sat only)Robert has toured his spellbinding hypnotic shows from Las Vegas to London, hypnotising over 20,000 people in 2,000 five-star performances. Robert is a talented comedian and hypnotist, combining quick-wit, cheeky charm and a dazzling hypnotic ability, dragging this age-old art form BANG into the 21st century.

Easily offended? Better look elsewhere - this is the show that gets a bit rude. If you're looking to step into the spotlight and delight your friends with some adult humour, it’s your time to shine… or, you can sit back, relax, and split your sides as Robert orchestrates the hilariously inappropriate shenanigans happening onstage.

Mr & Miss USC Competition(Sat)The annual Mr & Miss USC competition has created heroes and careers …
and as ever, YOU can be part of the legend! If you want the chance to WIN £200
CASH, and if you want to be in all the magazines, this is the time and the place. All contestants will have their admission cost refunded.

All it takes is a lot of guts and huge sense of fun. You don’t have to have the model
physique or the face of an angel… but it can of course help. We’ll
be testing competitors skills with a series of mini games but it's the
audience who have the final say, and winning them over is the ultimate aim.

For 2018 Mr & Miss will be in the Tent not on the Stage.

Open to competitors over 18 years old,
and may not be suitable for young spectators.

Handling Track(Fri)If you've got a car that goes around corners like a go-kart, then why not have a crack at the handling circuit? It's FREE to enter and just for fun, but it's yet another way you can play with your car at USC, and you don't need mega-power to have fun. In fact, the top cars on the handling circuit are nearly always the little 'uns.

Fueltopia Barrel Sprint (Day tbc)The Barrel Sprint is a cross between drag racing and drifting that challenges driver skill over all out horse-power.

Each lane has three barrels evenly placed along the track. Every driver must navigate a full 360 degrees around the barrels and over the finish line faster than their rival. Details at fueltopiabarrelsprint.com.

Important Notices

1) EXIT & RE-ENTRY GUIDE: USC is one of Santa Pod’s busiest and most popular events in the calendar and we have a large number of visitors using rural routes through our neighbouring villages. To relieve our local communities of unnecessary traffic during the event, USC operates a strict re-entry policy to minimise disruption: visitors choosing to leave the venue anytime during the weekend will need to pay to re-enter the venue even if they have already purchased a ticket. So, please bring all of the camping supplies that you will need for the weekend including enough petrol/diesel! Your continued cooperation in this matter is always appreciated and keeps the USC vibe alive.

2) NO GLASS: No glass bottles, jars etc allowed on site. This is for you and your car's safety and especially for those in the camping areas. Cars will be searched on arrival.

3) NO CHINESE LANTERNS: Chinese Lanterns are banned at Santa Pod Raceway as they pose a real fire hazard to the crops and thatched roofs surrounding the track.
